Asphalt Driveway Question

My neighbor is having his asphalt driveway re-done. *His old driveway

and thawing and that probably the foundation under the asphalt was
poor or non-existent. *Surprise! *When they went to remove the old
asphalt, they discovered that there was a second layer of asphalt

So, my question is - what would cause the top layer to crack in this

I am really curious.

When they went to remove the old asphalt, they discovered that
there was a second layer of asphalt underneath.
So they were really removing the *new* asphalt, not the old, right?
Had the orginal driveway settled a lot, even if it hadn't cracked? Why
was there a second layer on top, if there was nothing wrong with the
one below?
